Aunt LoLo's Pasta Salad

I love to make pasta salad in the summer time. It's perfect - boil up the noodles in the morning when the house is still (relatively) cool, mix everything up and stick it in the fridge until dinner time. Perfect!

My salads are always different, every time I make them, depending on what I find in the pantry and refrigerator...and what I'm in the mood for.

Here's today's version.Aunt LoLo's Pasta Salad

Serves 4-6 as a main dish, 8-12 as a side dish(This is great in the summer - you can boil the noodles in the morning while the house is still cool, and have dinner ready whenever you are.)

Boil the pasta according to directions, then drain and rinse under cold water. Drain well and remove to a large bowl.Add in the Italian dressing, crab meat, chopped olives, frozen peas and carrots, chopped sun-dried tomatoes and eggs and stir to combine.Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
